Toys everywhere.

I know that people who have babies know how it is to clean your house and in less that an hour all the toys are everywhere in the house and like you haven't cleaned before. In our case is the same, nothing special :), they are babies and they want to play.
Till this week we had no toys for playing with them in the bath. We were looking for perfect ones some days, actually we were thinking to buy these kind of toys some time before, but with our super busy life we were postponing this and also we were thinking that he is little and won't know how to play with them. But after having these toys I can firmly tell you that you have to buy to your child these toys earlier than we've done.
The advantages of buying these toys are: the ones that we bought are small enough and he can hold in his little hands, there is a lot of fun while bathing (I advice you to buy bathe toys in case that your child doesn't like bathing), these toys are very colourful and you like to look at them and help to develop motor skills. Damian likes bathing, but with toys it is somethig special, and he is so amuzed that he is smiling and shouting all the time we are bathing him.
Disadvantage: in case that you bathe your child in the room (as we do) be prepared that all the room will be full of water, because he is playing with toys and drizzle almost all the water that you prepared for him. We are thinking to prepare the bathroom (to heat bathroom specialy for Damian) and to bathe him there.
Below you can see some pictures of these lovely toys.

Bath time, BABY

Dear friend, today I want to share with you one of the most important moment of the day for our baby - BATHING. It might be that you already know all the tips that I will give you, and you think that you are doing better, please don´t hesitate to leave a comment of your success story.

I don´t know how it is in your case, but this activity we are doing together with our lovely daddy. We think that it is very important to do bath or other activities together because in such case the child can feel our love and be much closer to both of us.

Steps to prepare the bath:

1. I prepare chamomile tea (you can use as well lavender tea or any bath foam). Your question is why am I using this? Chamomile tea helps that baby skin to be clear and prevent that any red points to appear on its finest skin. Lavender tea, I have never used it, but I have read that it helps baby to sleep better.

As well you can use bath foam, it doesn´t matter... which you like more... and of course you can use just pure water.

2. At the same time daddy is preparing the water. Perfect temperature for this is 37-38 C degrees. You can measure with special termometer or in case you don´t have it, you can easily measure it with your elbow. In case that for your elbow the water appears good, so you have the perfect water for your child.

3. I prepare all the stuff that we need during the bath and after. These are: shampoo, towel, diaper, pajama and body lotion or cream for massage (about this I will tell you on the next post)

So, almost done. The water is ready... the baby is ready...and very happy, because if you are doing the bath each day at the same time, he already knows what is expecting him.


Bath time... I was reading many comments about how it is better to do a bath for a child. To begin with the hair or to finish with the hair, I tried both methods and can firmly tell you that there is no difference in baby´s behaviour. But,it is VERY IMPORTANT that in his ears won´t step the water, just because your baby can take easily a cold.

After the bath EVERY TIME I´m doing a massage for all his body, because in such case his body is relaxing and he sleeps well... and now is the time of pajama and dinner.

I hope you enjoyed the time reading this post, and then the time bathing your baby!
